B. Took around half an hour to complete.
The complete predicate includes the verb and the rest of the sentence.

The indefinite pronoun neither is always singular.
Neither is the negative counterpart of 'either' which is also singular. The basic principle of Subject-Verb Agreement says that the subject and verb must agree with each other, so you should use a singular verb because 'either' and 'neither' are considered singular; however, this principle is sometimes broken by a plural verb which can be used after 'either' and 'neither' informally.
